Iran fires rockets as US intercepts in Gulf
The events of this military escalation between the United States and Iran revolve around Iran's missile attack on targets in the region, following an American strike on two Iranian Revolutionary Guard launchpads on Starflake Island earlier the same day. The Iranians launched rockets from multiple locations towards targets in the area, some of which may have been American forces in Jordan, although Washington stated that the missiles were intercepted and did not cause significant damage. Iran responded to the American attack on Starflake Island with a vow of a proportionate and damaging response, with the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stating that the response would be "devastating." Tensions also increased in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for oil trade, with oil prices rising by more than 2%. The region remains on the brink of broader escalation as the confrontation between the two sides continues.
